The Martial Unity

The Valley of Prisms got its name because the atmosphere had variable optical density such that light was bent and scattered while traveling through it.

Anybody who relied on vision alone would be doomed; unable to navigate properly and prone to suffering psychological damage and madness over time. Meanwhile, the lifeforms of the Valley of Prisms had evolved different senses, and their vision had dimmed.

It spoke volumes that, despite this, the Divine Doctor had somehow been the one to drive the catoblepas insane instead!

The prism effect of the valley was known to come from its esoteric vegetation interacting with the atmosphere in such a way that the gaseous exchanges caused the optical density of the atmosphere to be entirely non-uniform.

If Rui could study this, then he ought to be able to replicate the alteration in the optical density of the air, allowing him to bend and potentially even halt light in its path. Normally, he would need the guidance of a teacher like Master Gurren to aid him with that, but he had the very next best option at his disposal.

The Valley of Prisms would be his teacher.

At that moment, Rui felt an enormous amount of gratitude to the universe for guiding him to this destination with this particular purpose. For some reason, he had developed a blindspot to the possibilities that he had currently set out to explore.

Just thinking about how long it would have taken him to come up with this idea, if at all, in the first place, made his head spin.

Of course, there was another person he needed to thank.

"Thanks for the advice, Kane," Rui turned towards him. "Wouldn't have figured it out without you."
